Summer equals art in Seguin Seguin Art League announces summer camp, art class schedule Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Ever since, the Seguin Art League launched its official operation of its renovated building in downtown Seguin, it seems as though it has been rolling out a long list of art classes in which to choose from. Connecting art with the community is especially important for the art league as it announces a slate of summer camps and programming. Roger Betschler, a member of the Seguin Art League’s show and education committees, says individuals and families are invited to check out their summer schedule. He says there’s definitely something for everyone. “We’ve set up four day summer camps from June through July. It’s just about something going on every week where kids, adults, whoever want to come in and take these classes and we have a couple of good instructors that will do a real fine job with anybody who wants to come in and learn something about art,” said Betschler. Now, if there is a class that folks aren’t too sure about, then

they are encouraged to learn more. Betschler says after all, art is more than just drawing and painting. “The summer camps are varied.

I want to plug our Linocut class coming up and that’s in July. Donna Maske and I are going to do that particular class and that’s going to be a fun class but we are only taking
12-year-olds and older because we want to work with teenagers more or less. It’s an old process from way back in the 1500s where you are carving with tools, sharp tools and creating your image and then painting it and taking a print off it and what is nice about Linocuts is you can do a repetition of a lot of pieces,” said Betschler. Oftentimes, he says skills and talents that individuals feel they lack are much of the reason of why they don’t dabble in art. However, at the Seguin Art League, Betschler says everyone walks away with a lesson. “Even in our Lino print class, we are going to start off with some drawings and just some basic techniques on how to draw the image you want on your paper. So, you might come in limited in your drawing abilities but you will come out with a very nice product,” said Betschler. Betschler says he’s proud of this summer’s collective classes and encourages sign-up as soon as possible. Art, pg. 3
